Avoid The Chariot On The First Slope
The Fringefolk Hero's Grave area has a series of slopes. The first slope doesn't have a wall on the side, which means you can easily jump down to the next slope. When the chariot reaches the bottom of the first slope, turn around and go down to the next slope as fast as you can before the chariot reaches you.
Enemies Can Be Defeated By The Chariot
The chariot will kill you in a single hit once it reaches you. The same is true for enemies, where even stronger enemies (those who drop the Dragon Communion Seal) can be killed by it. Since they can be quite troublesome in the early game, you can lure them out of the room and let them get him by the chariot.

| ⑤ |  |

| ⑥ |  |
| Defeat two enemies and continue straight └ If you can defeat the first enemy from the landing site using a long-ranged attack, the other enemy will not attack you └ It is easier if you have a shield with 100 Physical Resistance | |
